T/O Downwind -v- power available ?
Hello Rotorheads,
As I have progressed up into the realms of Turbine power, I have been shown, and then been allowed to execute a downwind and/or crosswind T/O to see what this entails and feels like, whilst I am very aware of the problems associated with this type of T/O, is there any rule of rough calculation which equates wind speed to power available that would allow for this sort of T/O, I hasten to add I always T/O into wind but one of the FI's has shown me downwind and crosswind T/O's in the B206, and said with the power increase over piston engines you are safe to consider this , can any of you confirm this?
